Paris 1.0

The Sims 3 Paris World is the first world project and the largest project attempted by The Sims Key.
After EA released World Adventures which offers us the ability to travel to France, but only to the rural area, we decided to start working on the urban area.
Comparing with EA standard worlds such as Sunset Valley or Twinbrook, Paris world is a lot larger in its terrain size and also in lots number.
We’ve tried to make Paris to be a different type of world, putting the player into a different area of gameplay and experiencing a more closer interaction with the city itself.
Using this world, the player could get more familiar and taste some of the feelings you get living in one of the most cultural and beautiful cities in the world.

Sims 3 Paris World includes a total of 315 lots, residential and community.
The whole city is crossed by the river Seine, and there are ten bridges over the river, connecting the Paris districts.
Large Parks are spread all over the city, closing in to the real Paris atmosphere.
The districts and important places such as Louvre, Eiffel Tower or Jardin du Luxembrugh are connected by a subway network.
A big variety of cobblestone types are used in roads, sidewalks and important places such as Place de la Concorde or Place de la Republique.

Aprox 30% of residential lots are fully furnished.
Aporx 40% of residential lots are built respecting the Paris Haussmann architecture, but they aren’t furnished.
Aprox 30% or residential lots are empty, waiting to be built by the player.

Community lots, representing real Paris buildings such as Grand Palais, Royal Palais or Les Invalides, are fully built in the exterior, using custom content and getting as close as possible to the real Paris buildings.
Due to custom content limits, those community lots aren’t furnished.
The Sims Key will release future contents, related to Paris important buildings including furniture and more architectural elements.

To get more accurate to real Paris streets network and urban atmosphere, its lots have a custom size comparing to official EA Worlds.
Most of the lots are: 56×30 and 48×26.
Standard sizes such as 40×30, 30×20 or 64×64 are also present in world file.

All Base Game rabbitholes are present in community lots, some of them being placed twice due to the city size.
Expansion Pack rabbitholes are waiting to be placed by the player.

Considering the game size limits, monuments are placed geographically correct as much as possible in correlation with the real Paris.

Without having this content, technically the world is playable but may look very inappropriate comparing with the description or screenshots.

File Version: 1.0

Hello! Beautiful world, would love to have it. I have downloaded all CC and required additional files. I finally downloaded the actual world, unzipped it, and it is now a package. Do I place the package in my Mods folder or do I put it elsewhere? Just not sure where to put the file. Thanks!

@ Alyssa:
just open the command console (Control + Shift + C at the same time) and type in “freerealestate” without quotationmarks, and you can move in sims anywhere. might need to re-do it after each family.
